| ある日パパが僕に言いました | aru hi papa ga boku ni iimashita | One day papa said to me: |
| 「一日のはじまりの挨拶は | “ichinichi no hajimari no aisatsu wa | "The greetings you say in the morning: |
| きっと毎日を笑顔で過ごせる | kitto mainichi o egao de sugoseru | they're like a wonderful, magical charm, |
| 魔法のおまじないだ」 | mahou no omajinai da” | they'll surely let you spend the whole day smiling" |
| ある日ママが僕に言いました | aru hi mama ga boku ni iimashita | One day mama said to me: |
| 「ご飯を食べる前の挨拶は | “gohan o taberu mae no aisatsu wa | "The words you say right before you eat, |
| そっと幸せを噛みしめるための | sotto shiawase o kamishimeru tame no | they work like a wonderful, magical spice, |
| 魔法のスパイスだよ」 | mahou no supaisu da yo” | and let you bite gently into happiness" |
| 言葉と言葉が巡り合って | kotoba to kotoba ga meguriatte | All kinds of words and phrases meet each other throughout the day |
| この世界を作り上げているから | kono sekai o tsukiriagete iru kara | since they're what's helping to make the world a wonderful place |
| 「おはよう」の数だけ「おやすみなさい」 | “ohayou” no kazu dake “oyasuminasai” | A "Good Night" for every "Good Morning" we say |
| 「いただきます」の数だけ「ごちそうさま」 | “itadakimasu” no kazu dake “gochisousama” | A "thanks for the meal! for every "Let's eat!" as well |
| いくつもの言葉が響き合って | ikutsumo no kotoba ga hibiki atte | countless words ring out together |
| いくつもの言葉が生まれてるよ | ikutsumo no kotoba ga umareteru yo | and countless more words are born |
| ある日パパが僕に言いました | aru hi papa ga boku ni iimashita | One day papa said to me: |
| 「ケンカをしたあとの挨拶は | “kenka o shita ato no aisatsu wa | "Those words we say to each other after an argument, |
| いつでも誰かと仲良しでいられる | itsudemo dareka to nakayoshi de irareru | they're like a magical phrase that opens a door, |
| 魔法の合言葉さ」 | mahou no aikotoba sa” | to always staying close with one another" |
| ある日ママが僕に言いました | aru hi mama ga boku ni iimashita | One day mama said to me: |
| 「おうちに帰るときの挨拶は | “ouchi ni kaeru toki no aisatsu wa | "The greetings we say when we come home, |
| 疲れた心に明かりを灯すような | tsukareta kokoro ni akari o tomosu you na | it's like they flip a magical switch inside of us, |
| 魔法のスイッチなのよ」 | mahou no suitchi na no yo” | that sends light flooding into a tired heart" |
| 言葉と言葉がすれ違って | kotoba to kotoba ga surechigatte | Words are part of our disagreements as well |
| 傷ついたり悲しむこともあるけど | kizutsuitari kanashimu koto mo aru kedo | but even though they can cause the hurt and sadness we feel, |
| 「ごめんね」の数だけ「ごめんなさい」 | “gomen ne” no kazu dake “gomennasai” | There's a "Me too" for every "I'm sorry" that is said |
| 「ただいま」の数だけ「おかえりなさい」 | “tadaima” no kazu dake “okaerinasai” | A "welcome home" for every "I'm back" as well |
| 何気ない言葉を重ね合って | nanigenai kotoba o kasaneatte | Countless carefree and effortless words pile together, |
| 何気ない毎日つくってるよ | nanigenai mainichi tsukutteru yo | helping to create the carefree and blissful days that we enjoy |
| 「おはよう」の数だけ「おやすみなさい」 | “ohayou” no kazu dake “oyasuminasai” | A "Good night" for every "Good morning" we say |
| 「いただきます」の数だけ「ごちそうさま」 | “itadakimasu” no kazu dake “gochisousama” | A "Thanks for the meal!" for every "Let's eat!" as well |
| いくつもの言葉が響き合って | ikutsumo no kotoba ga hibikiatte | Countless words ring out together, |
| いくつもの笑顔が生まれてるよ | ikutsumo no egao ga umareteru yo | giving birth to countless smiles each and every day |
| 「ありがとう」の数だけ「ありがとう」 | “arigatou” no kazu dake “arigatou” | A "Thank you" for each and every "thank you" |
